You don’t see it too often but when you do it can be as frustrating as hell – endless streams of enemies, poring out of some entrance with an almost demon passion.

On the surface I would say that there is never any place for this game mechanic in a normal map or mod, but there are times when a designer may want to challenge your preconception that you are invincible.

I think it’s important for larger mods to occasionally have a section where a player can’t win and must make a decision to move on. The problem is that most players don’t want to “move on” and therefore view these types of situations as badly designed areas.

It’s important that the player be told “There may be areas that are too well protected, so ignore those!”. If they aren’t told the “invincibility” mentality kicks in and anything except success is met with criticism of the map or modder.

We don’t complain when we can’t jump 50 feet into the air, so why do we complain when we can’t win. Because we have yet to play a game that somebody can’t beat.

Think back to Space Invaders. The mentality was very different. We knew we couldn’t win because essentially there was no end. The invaders just kept coming, faster and faster, lower and lower. Of course gaming has come on a long way since then but shouldn’t we occasionally challenge the assumptions of the player? If for no other reason than to shock them into new thinking patterns.

Thanks to Jasper for this week’s Poll Question.

It’s time for another single player mapping competition.

This one is called HunterVille and all the details are below.

Format

A single player, stand alone map for Half-Life 2: Episode Two.

How the competition will be judged

The winning map will be the one that creates an interesting scenario using at least one Hunter. I am looking for maps that create tension and foreboding of a coming battle.

There is no maximum number of Hunters that can be used, but if it’s too hard then that may count against the map.

The other aspects of the map are completely open. It can be indoors, outdoors, with other enemies or not, with rebel squads or solo.

I want to finish the battle and say “WOW”, that was great!

Using custom textures, models and sounds won’t necessarily ensure your map receives more attention, it’s more about the layout and use of assets than anything else.

Closing Date

The closing date for entries is 9:00AM GMT Monday 3rd May 2010. This is longer than the last competition but hopefully not too long that entrants don’t focus.

Rules

1. The map must be original and not have been released publicly before.
2. More than one entry is allowed by individual mappers or development teams, but iterations of the same map are not allowed.
3. By entering the competition you grant PlanetPhillip.com the right to release the map as part of the HunterVille mappack (which will consist of all the maps entered into the competition) All maps will be clearly credited. Your entry must not appear before the release of the mappack.
4. No assets from retail games other than HL2, HL2: Ep1 or HL2: Ep2 are allowed.
5. No assets from previously released maps or mods are allowed without written permission from their originals authors, which MUST be included in the entry email.
6. My decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into about it.

Prize Fund

Winner: $100, payable via PayPal
Two Honourable Mentions: $15 each, payable via PayPal

To Enter

Send an email with your map attached and any installation instructions. Make sure you include a readme.txt, identifying you, the author, and any other details you feel important.

Files larger than 20Mb should be uploaded to a free host first.

Payment

YOU MUST HAVE ACCESS TO A PAYPAL ACCOUNT.
I may not use Steam to purchase games for winners, like I did in the last competition.

Questions, suggestions and entries should be sent to:

This week’s poll question is from Jasper who wonders about some sort of submarine vehicle or adventure in Episode 3.

Perhaps the best way to infiltrate the Combine base around the Borealis would be underwater? Of course, that depends on how much is left by the time Gordon gets there.

What do you think about the idea of having some underwater action in Episode 3 and the general concept and implementation of submarine vehicles and action?

I remember in Chaser some sort of submarine area and I pretty much hated it, it almost made me feel sick. of course, I am sure the way Valve would do it would be much better, but I still wonder if it’s ever been done really well.

          With each change we gain and lose and being the ever optimist I am, I thought about how Half-Life 10 would look. What would a long-time player recognize?

          The poll this week’s is less serious in its answers than other weeks, purely because the question itself isn’t really suited to a poll. So, by all means vote, but let’s have the real discussion here on the comments.

          Just in case you missed the news I wanted to post details of the Mod OF The Year 2010 Nominations.

          This year’s categories are greatly expanded and it would be almost impossible to add the mods at the end of the year, so I will be adding them as I find them.

          In addition each new post now has a new section, which lists and links to the nomination. Human Error is a perfect example. I will try and create new thumbnails for each mod and nominations but some of the older ones may have to remain with the standard thumbnail.

          If you think a mod or map should have been nominated for an award, don’t be afraid to contact me and I’ll consider it.

          This week’s poll is taken from the discussion from Outpost 16 where Alyx says “fuck“. Initially the discussion started out as to whether it was out of character for her but quickly moved onto whether it fitted the HL universe.

          I am torn.

          On the one hand I dislike swearing in games. I am not sure why because it doesn’t bother me in movies, TV or real life. In fact, when Alyx says “Jesus” in one of the episodes I flinched. It was a natural expression, although I never use it personally, but I wonder why it wasn’t edited to “Geez” which would probably have worked just as well. I dislike references to religion in games too, buy that’s another story.

          I am slightly ashamed to say that I outside of work, I swear quite a lot, more from laziness than anything else, so it’s not as if I have never heard these words.

          And on the other hand, swearing in these types of situations is a natural reaction. Who wouldn’t use that kind of language if you were being fired at and repressed by aliens?

          There is also the very interesting point that isn’t it a bit silly to be worrying about swearing when I am in fact killing other sentient beings? Which is worse; talk or actions? so, it’s ok to kill, mutilate, burn, cut in half and completely fragment enemies, but no way can we use any expletives – bit silly really, don’t you think?

          For those that say it’s just out of character, I see your point, but we haven’t really seen enough of her to know how she reacts in all situations over a long period of time. Maybe, it’s like guys who don’t fart in front of women until they are really comfortable with them. You know what I am talking about, right? Maybe Alyx is the same, she’s a wild gal but she is trying to impress you, you being Gordon of course.

          On the same topic, Human Error was recently criticised by some for its use of “fuck“. Some people felt that one particular section, where one of the characters said fuck about 15 times in 90 seconds was excessive. It was felt that it was bad writing. This is interesting, because I was always taught that people who swear lack the verbal skills to express themselves in a more eloquent and dignified way. Do you agree?

          Time to vote.

            God, I hope I am wrong but have you noticed how nearly all Valve-focused websites just seem to be regurgitating news?

            It’s certainly not my intention to upset other webmasters but when I look around that’s all I seem to see.

            You just need to visit a site on Friday to see a rehash of Steam news, with the latest offers. Not only that but just reposts of the latest update from various mods. I am not blaming Valve, as I said before they are masters of promotion. Who else gets their customers to publicise their news for them so well?

            Where are the original articles take make us think and consider this fine thing we love called gaming?

            Admittedly, I don’t visit the bigger sites, just the fan-based ones, and I certainly haven’t been involved in gaming as along as many readers but don’t you think that the role of professional site and fansite have reversed. In the earlier days smaller sites had the most interesting content and the larger sites the more mainstream stuff.

            Now, I am as guilty as other site because 90% of my content is maps and mods that other people have made, but a quick look through my articles shows I have written my fair share of stuff.

            I’ve touched on this with BlueWolf72 who has much more experience in this than I do and he feels that not enough readers are interested, and really all they want is news about mods and plenty of images.

            If that’s true it’s a little depressing.

            I know that writing these kinds of articles takes a lot longer than simply posting images or quick interviews and I have a list of topics I have been meaning to write about for a while and I know others have too, perhaps we just need a little motivation or belief they will be read and discussed.

            So, are original articles not wanted by fansite readers?

            What kind of articles would you like to see? I’m not talking about PP specifically, but all the HL sites.

            Let the flaming begin….

            I’m not really a big fan of vehicles in games, but I fully appreciate how they break up gameplay, allow players the opportunity to cover large distances etc.

            Each vehicle in the Half-Life series has had the environment matched to it. Whilst that might sound obvious it doesn’t always seem to work that way in mods or even in games.

            Assuming we are going to be playing in ice and snow there seem to be a number of possibility; snowmobile being the most obvious.

            This week’s (late – sorry about that!) question is quite straight forward:

            Do you expect there to be a new vehicle in Ep3?

            If you do, what kind of vehicle would you like to see?

            The death of the Nihilanth threw the Xenian army into disarray, and the subsequent portal storms stranded many on Earth in the wake of Combine occupation.

            After once more having to endure existence beneath the totalitarian boot of their cosmic nemesis, they have searched for a way out. Now, buried in the heart of a dilapidated university, they’ve found it.

            In Human Error, relish the opportunity to join Civil Protection and stop the Xenians from ever finding peace! Step into the jack boots of Anders, and follow his story through a moral quagmire of thinly disguised genocide and raging psychotics. Vortigaunts, Alien Grunts and Controllers stand in your way from dashing the hopes of an entire civilisation, but worry not: you have at your disposal all the perks of the Combine empire. Step into the APC, equip your manhack and stand side-by-side with equally disgruntled traitors to the human race, Eloise, Noah and Larson.

            If ever a real place was crying out to be made into a mod, then this is it: Oil Rocks (Neft Dashlari).

            It’s a city built on the Caspian Sea and was built to extract oil just after the end of the Second World War.

            There are so many possibilities for this city for the developer, that I am surprised something like it has never been seen.

            I can just imagine the screen fading to black and the player is silently moving towards the city in a simple boat. It’s night and the lights from the apartments and industrial buildings reflect in the cold, dark water. Voices and music drift in and out of range.

            The player comes to a stop against one the few water-level edges and so begins his journey to reach the drilling area and descend hundreds of metres down the shaft to the “Find”.

            Something so powerful and so dangerous the Soviet authorities have evacuate the city and sent in hundreds of soldiers.

            Anyway, enough of my crappy story writing, here are some real images of the place. You can even see a video here: EnglishRussia.Com. You can also find some more information here: Window 2 Baku.

            I loved Opposing Force and presume you did too. The inclusion of new enemies was very important and these enemies, called Race X have never been seen since and too my knowledge never been acknowledged in Half-Life 2 or the episodes (please correct me if I am wrong).

            So, the poll question simple: Would you like to see the return of Race X?

            I definitely would but I am sure everybody is expecting new enemies for EP3, and re-introducing Race X may seem like a cop-out.

            I should mention that I am not talking about any remakes of Opposing Force or Mods, but whether the enemies should be introduce in EP3 or other Valve made/sanctioned releases.

            Poll Idea Source

            A while back a PP reader, called Grey Acumen, emailed me a very detailed poll question about whether Race X could be retconned to fit Half-Life cannon. I felt the question was too detailed, but still very interesting.

            I decided to redefine the question and if the result is overwhelmingly “Yes”, then I will run Grey’s original question as is, with all the detailed poll options.

            But, sometimes you have to stop what you are doing, do something completely different and then go back to what you were doing 0 if that makes sense. Sometimes when you do that you do a better job. I am hoping that that is what Valve have done.

            I am pretty sure that EP3 development has been ticking over for a while but now that they have released L4D2 I hope they begin to focus on EP3.

            The question is what could they have learnt from those games that would make EP3 better? Players and mappers of those games are better able to answer that question but….

            I predict

            Episode 3 will have 4 player co-op mode and even be sold in special 4 Value packs.

            But semi-seriously, what do you think they learnt, if anything and how will it affect the development of EP3?

            Have you ever noticed how different Alyx is in HL2, HL2: EP1 and HL2: EP2? I have to admit that I didn’t until Jasper pointed it out to me and suggested this poll question.

            Let’s look a little closer, and these are Jasper’s descriptions, so feel free to compare and contrast each Alyx with your observations.

            In Half-Life 2, Alyx helped a little in combat situations and opened barriers to the way forward but was absent most of the time. She was also used to get to places before Gordon could. Also, arriving after the combat was done seemed to be one of her specialities. The drawback, for some, might be the long cut scenes involving her in long speeches.

            The EP1 Alyx was very involved in combat situations but very often IN YOUR FACE and could often be a hindrance.

            The EP2 Alyx was helpful in a few combat situations and not in your face at all. Also, with a good sense of humour. The ideal game companion?

            It’s observations like this that make me want to replay the games this summer and hopefully I’ll notice other differences too.

            My big problem is that I have never replayed any of the games and to be honest I can’t remember the differences between each Alyx, but Jasper’s descriptions do seem to match my very hazy memory.

            So, which Alyx do you prefer and do you agree with Jasper’s assessment?

            In fact, while we are talking about it, why not tell me what you hope EP3 Alyx will be like.
